Proceeding contribution from Baroness Butler-Sloss (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill.


Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill

My Lords, will the Minister say what he means by that? Subsection (2) of proposed new section 240A, states that, "““the court must direct that the credit period is to””," be taken into account. Does that mean that the Minister has in mind that the judge might impose a longer sentence than otherwise to allow for a sufficient period in prison, in which case he would probably be breaching the sentencing rules?
